A faraway land is where Fairies dwell, Who can do anything, with a wave and a spell. Legends recounted from tales of old Are forged by these fairies, and the wills of the bold. And yet, there’s always something amiss A hidden side to that eternal bliss, Now, a Fairytale begins again, Perhaps this time, with a different end.
Peritale tells the story of a magicless fairy named Periwinkle, and her quest to gain her peers' approval by fulfilling a simple Fairytale. If she is able to join two designated humans in destined wedlock, she can prove she's just as good as any other fairy!
Are... are the humans on board with this? What a strange question!

i loved every moment of this, from the fairytale Cinderella-Tangled-esque plot to the very queer romance, to the character design (Lavender, Celeste, and Vallery are my faves), to the art. the world, everything in it, is very pretty. the fantasy and romance is excellent. however. i'm sobbing. it is an actual crime that this isn't finished because i need to know the ending. i want to see my little gays kiss!! hug!! find romance!! i want the best for them.
Mari Costa, PLEASE. 😭😭😭 i love you and i know you're busy, but i hope you find more time for this soon. Peritale will always be in my heart <3

Sweet art and a gentle story, though there's interesting darker elements sprinkled through it. I'm excited for the author/artist to pick it up again after they're done with their other graphic novel project.
